Go On an Easter Egg Hunt
Another great Easter tradition that the youngest members of your family can enjoy is the Easter egg hunt. People have been decorating and hiding eggs at Easter for hundreds of years, and while the meaning behind a search for hidden eggs at Easter may differ for different people, the one thing every Easter Egg Hunt has in common is fun.
You can stage your own egg hunts with real candy or plastic eggs with surprises, but many organizations in the Las Vegas area offer elaborate egg hunts at Easter every year for every age of egg hunter. These include many churches and other organizations, such as parks departments. Egg hunts don’t always happen on Easter Sunday, and they tend to be scheduled close to Easter, so it’s wise to check sites such as easteregghuntsandeasterevents.org to find a local egg hunt that works best for you.
Attend an Easter Sunday Church Service
It may surprise some people to learn that the origins of Easter have nothing to do with brunches, chocolate bunnies, or egg hunts. Easter is a spiritual holiday that celebrates resurrection and rebirth. If you’ve been thinking you and your family could use a touch of spiritual health, many churches in the Las Vegas area love sharing the special time of Easter with friends, both new and old.
Some churches offer special sunrise services on Easter Sunday, but many make their usual service times something special on Easter. If you’re unsure where to start looking for a church to visit this Easter, websites such as churchfinder.com provide an up-to-date list that can point you in the right direction. However, contact the church directly to confirm any special Easter service times or events.
